GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER PSALM

Sure, Mary wasn’t there, beside that Cross: Jesus, with Mary and John, it’s not a photograph!

For they were crude and cruel days – and he was naked: all our pictures of the Cross are images and stories.

What Jesus really looked like we’ll never know: our pictures of him are not true likenesses -

there are so many faces of Christ, two millennia full: black or white, yellow or brown, and all are true.

The gospels were not mere history, but stories to hear: my devotion and prayer today, sometimes with music.

So how can I celebrate Easter, it isn’t a lie: resurrection enables one image to stand for them all.
